Sometimes I think I should move!

Seriously, Why do I continue to live here!

Jess and I spent several hours and what might have been my last nerve shoveling and clearing the 3 foot drifts. All this with high winds and temps near zero. And to top it all off the plow took out my mailbox again!! I end up repairing my mailbox a few times each year. I tried to move it further away from the road but the letter carrier started sending me nasty grams, first it was too tall then it was too far from the road. I think I am going to have to talk to the local post master or something before I reinstall the damned thing!

Well the county works department of Goodhue county was right on the job. The installed a temporary mailbox the day we called and had a new mailbox and post installed in just a few days. Thanks guys great job!

We left WI for Vancouver Island, Canada and are not looking back. We had one 2 inch snowfall in early Dec and that was it. Jan was mid to upper 50's for the most part and sunny. I really do like working in the gardens all year, even if some of it is weeding. Some stores here already have cool weather annuals out and perennials are in stock!
